The BBC have denied reports in The Sun that the show will end in two years time.

I think the S*n (and their "source") might be reading between the lines and assuming just because Casualty's current rolling contract might not extend beyond the 40th series that means the end of the show. I can totally see a future contract renegotiation bringing down the number of episodes (not a bad thing IMO) or cutting the budget, but totally axing Casualty would be foolish. Since Doctor Who was taken in by Bad Wolf, Casualty and Pobol y Cwm are the only two regular dramas made at the BBC's Roath Lock studios. The studios were a huge investment, employ and develop hundreds of local talent and do a great deal for the BBC's regional quota in Wales (as well as their required programming for S4C). It's also still rating around the 3 million mark weekly, which is not a number to be scoffed at in the current broadcast landscape.
